No there are actually a lot of different techniques being used. Fopr instance,
the email nazi (he is German) continually monitors for telltale signs spam, for
instance lots of incorrect addresses being used. Once his attention is raised he
can check the email and if it is indeed spam he can block that server from
attaching to our server, the spam doesn't even reach our server let alone your
mail box.

You can thank him for your clean mail box.

Over 60 percent of emails we receive are spam that you don't even see.
